SHOTS FIRED INVESTIGATION IN FOREST BROOK GLEN

Wilmington, DE 19804 โ€“ On Thursday, November 5, 2026, at approximately 1:00 a.m., officers from the New Castle County Division of Police responded to the 100 block of Kenwood Lane in the Forest Brook Glen community for a report of a shooting.

Upon arrival, officers were advised that an individual had been shot. However, officers could not locate a victim at the scene. Officers were subsequently notified that two individuals had arrived at a local hospital with injuries. A 23-year-old male suffered a laceration to his left hand, while a 19-year-old male sustained a laceration to his head. Both individuals were treated and later released.

Due to the circumstances surrounding the incident, detectives from the Criminal Investigation Unit responded to the scene and assumed the investigation. Detectives later determined that neither individual had been struck by gunfire and that both sustained their injuries during an altercation related to the incident. Further investigation revealed that a residence in the neighborhood and a vehicle had also been struck by gunfire.
